Sew Perfect for Every Body!

This was to be the weekend that was to get at least 10 purses completed. My total so far is 1! I have made patterns and made sure I had enough fabric and interfacing but I need some purse findings: closures, D rings, purse hooks, chain handles, spring loaded openings. I do not want to make velcro the closure and I do not want everything to look like tote bag! In the Fall fashion magazines I have seen some fur purses and the type of fur I just happen to have so I will make some of these as well. After a weekend of nonproductivity I need to get it together and start getting some work done.

Friday I left work around 1:00, went home to finish packing up the things we would need for the weekend and we were on the road. My hubby decided he would come with me, of course this was because I explained with him or without him I was going and I told he that while I was on hold with the greyhound bus terminal getting a price on a round trip ticket. We arrived at the hotel around 12:30 midnight I am so glad that I called and told them of a late arrival. The Marriott Louisville Downtown 3.5 stars! I Love price line 60.00 a night sweet deal! The room was paid for in advance so check in a breeze and checkout was the same. The World fest was within walking distance 2 maybe 3 blocks away. The park is call the Belvedere but if you call it by the name none of the people who live in Louisville know what you are talking about but if you ask for the location of the World fest “It’s the park at the end of Fifth Street once you cross main you are there!” Once you get there you see signs that ca...

I am out of town until Wednesday I will post a blog at that time. Thanks! Lavon

How many hours are there in a day? I think I am wasting too many sleeping. I cannot get a free moment. I have been running back and forth to the seniors building that my Aunt live in because I have several customers there. Making adjustment for skirt that are too long, too loose, occasionally too tight. The problem is when the are awake I am at work and when I am finish with work they are getting ready for bed. So pickup and delivery are usually on Saturday. Right now the intercom system that lets you into the building is not working properly. I attempted to contact my customer in the usual fashion by dialing her apartment number on the touch pad and it did not even ring. The display just said try again. Which I did and the display said “ Try Again”. So I called my customer on my cell phone to tell her that I was at the front door but the intercom system is not working. She however is hard of hearing and heard that I was at the front door and began pushing the button on her...

Since my computer is down I have to compose and post my blogs at work. Life in this scheduling room has been hectic. What makes it hectic is when your personal life starts to interfere with the productive nature of the office. What makes it worst is when management does not take action to correct the matter if it can be corrected. Well as time goes on it continues to make life more and more a challenge here in this little office. I had decided to focus on what I can do put in my 8 hours and attempt to let the rest not interfere with my day. Someday I am successful other days not so much. Tomorrow I will have a proper post because I will be writing in my journal and then all I have to do is type what I write. As far as my search for the perfect little space. I think I may have found a winner. Tell you about it tomorrow.

I went to deliver pants that I had hemmed for my Auntie. She had a customer all lined up for me. Her neighbor had been sick for quite a while and lost a great deal of weight. Now that she was feeling better and was able to get out she needed some of the more expensive clothing altered to fit her. Some things were just to large and rather recreate the items I told her to give them to someone she knew or hang on to them if she felt she would regain the weight. She had a closet full of clothes but we decieded to take it in stages. So this time a round I am refitting 3 straight skirts one of which is lined and 1 pair a pants and 2 suit jackets! This is wonderful I love it. My sister knows someone is get giving up some clothes that are too large for her and she (my sister) wants me to restyle a couple of them for her to wear. So I am busy these Wednesday's My computer should be up and running Next week so I will be back to posting pictures. Keep sewing!

I have change the title of my blog because I am restarting my home business of alterations and sewing clothes for customers because sisters do not pay anything but dinner occasionally. This blog will enable me to post what I changes I am making to garments. Ideas for clothing and jewelry that I can first draw and then attempt to make. I open a flicker just to show pictures of the changes made to garments you know before and after shots. Other changes are going to be with me, myself, I. I have grown weary of people telling me what I can, should, need to, must, have to do! I am very much aware of what I can, should, need to, must, have to do and I will handle it in my way. I love my friends and family and I care for them deeply but I cannot handle anyone trying to tell me what to do and using some method physcology to get me to see what I am doing wrong. It seems that the majority of people around me want things their way without consideration for me and when I bring that to their attent...
